Today's digital photo frames can do everything--except come down in price. Witness the just-released eStarling 802.11n Touchscreen Connected Frame. As the name says, it offers 802.11n connectivity, so you can load pictures faster than ever. Each frame comes with a unique Gmail address, so you can transfer them over e-mail. It's convenient for the home, or for leaving with an older relative so you can add pictures remotely.

This frame has a few other pluses, including a touchscreen. That makes maneuvering through menus much easier than with a remote. Once you've got it connected to your home network, you can display photos from Facebook, Flickr, Photobucket, and other sites. It can even access a Twitter stream.

You're not limited to photos with this frame: It can also display video. Imagine shooting a video of your kids on your smartphone, then uploading it to a frame so grandma can see it minutes later. When you consider that the frame also has a 10.2-inch screen, the $249.99 list price actually starts to sound reasonable.
